  1. Si coupe driver side suspension makes clinking noise when going over bumps

    No resolution. The dealer wanted to continue working on it but Honda refused to cover any more warranty payments on the work. So I just decided to live with it.
  2. Product to clean PRL air filter?

    I used this on my short ram intake, I think the filter on my SRI was made by Green. https://greenfilter.com/cleaner-care
  3. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    That's not a lithium mine, and that's not a typical oil sands site either. Most of the other stuff that you said in this post is also wrong.
  4. Car jacking puzzle - car needs to stay raised for a few days

    Why not just jack it up with the floor jack or scissor jack and leave it on there until you can reinstall the tire?
  5. Follow-up to Who needs an EV

    Let's be less misleading. Neither of those captions are correct. The first is an aluminum mine. Most of the oil sands production is from strip mining, and not whatever that second picture shows.
  6. Convince me out of selling for a tesla

    I don't think it's from him, I watch most of his videos and haven't seen anything like that. The survey data here seems to say that even at 150k miles, most Teslas are still above 90% capacity. https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-data/
  7. Convince me out of selling for a tesla

    Really curious where you get your data from. Battery degradation is nowhere near 10% per year. It's more like 10% per 100k miles.
  8. Convince me out of selling for a tesla

    Most research indicates that an EV will make up for the extra production CO2 emissions in less than 5 years of use.
  9. worried about my car

    He says those engines are weaker because they were assembled in Europe. How about hatch engines not assembled in Europe, are they as weak as the European ones? My hatch engine was assembled in Thailand.
  10. Radiator or intercooler cover when cold?

    I used black coroplast (that corrugated plastic that election signs and stuff are made out of) to block off my lower grille for winter. It was easy to install with a few zip ties and helped with warmup times and maintaining temperatures on the highway. The upper grille openings are easy to...
  11. Regular gas or Premium?

    High octane doesn't really do much with carbon mitigation. You'd probably be better off running 87 octane top-tier gas than 93 octane no-name gas.
  12. Canada - Manitoba Thule 1852 Traverse Fit Kit for Civic Hatchbacks

    I think it was racksforcars.com, but I don't see this kit on there anymore. Maybe try European Amazon or something if you can't find any in North America.
  13. MT only shifting while cruise control is engaged.

    Just don't shift to neutral with cruise engaged. Honda forgot to add a check for that in the cruise control logic.
  14. Took my SE at the track and my brakes caught on fire, almost hit the guardrail

    I heard that they're good for street but kind of dusty. I've never actually used them. I don't need them, so whatever your right price is will probably be good for me.
  15. Took my SE at the track and my brakes caught on fire, almost hit the guardrail

    Hey I saw you out at Gimli, I had the silver Integra. Too bad to hear about your car :(. I used Hawk HPS pads in my Civic and they were good enough for a few track weekends per year, and they were also good for the street. I also have a set of brand new EBC Yellow pads that I could sell if...
  16. 17' Civic Hatchback A/C Compressor Leaks

    I thought hatchbacks weren't included in the warranty extension?
  17. Clunking noise front driver side wheel well

    The dealer wasn't able to fix it. To the best of my knowledge, it's the brake caliper or pads shaking around that causes the noise. The noise only happens when I'm not using the brakes. My dealer replaced a lot of parts trying to track this down. They took apart and replaced most of the...
  18. Lack of heat

    That's what happens with efficient engines, they make less heat. Do you use a block heater? I use a block heater and also block off my grille in winter to reduce airflow through the radiator. I usually have sufficient heat even through cold Winnipeg winters.
  19. Does it seem like there are a lot of short term owners?

    That's kind of my point, if it was a good daily driver then wouldn't you want to drive it every day? There doesn't seem to be as much holding back Golf R and STI drivers from wanting to drive their car more frequently.
  20. Does it seem like there are a lot of short term owners?

    I get the impression that the Type R isn't a great daily driver. Most of the used ones that I see for sale have very low mileage, noticeably lower than a Golf R or STI of the same model year. It seems like the typical Type R owner doesn't actually drive their car very much.
